Weekly Favorites 08/19/18 to 08/25/18

Well I'm late again, no surprise there at this point! This post is this week's Weekly Favorites post, just a week late. At this point, you're probably thinking, "Does this guy write anything besides the weekly favorites?" In fact I do, and I'm working on a few new posts!

Vermicelli di Positano - via The Pasta Project

Pasta, my old friend! I've made a few pasta dishes like this and on a rainy or cold day, they can really hit the spot! There is just something about marinated tomatoes and veggies that is so good!

All you have to do to make this #vermicelli di Positano is marinate the tomatoes, herbs & other veg. Then cook the pasta, mix & eat!! Easy, delicious & nutritious!

Pesto - via Pesto Champion

I love pesto. I also love history. This very brief history of pesto caught my attention and I had to shared. Now I have a question. Pine nuts or no pine nuts in your pesto?

Maseladar Chana dal Tadka or Spiced Yellow Split Peas with Ghee - via Cooking with Anadi

My wife and I cook fair amount of curry, usually chicken or shrimp. Our kids, surprisingly, love rice. I like to see variations on curry, and I've never really done one with a yellow curry. This one looks like one I am going to have to try out!

When you have a great Indian curry you need a delicious bread to truly have a complete meal! Learn how to make one of my recent favourites, laccha paratha to be your next accompaniment!

Guys, I have to make a confession here, though I'm sure you already know what it is. I've been slacking here on the blog posts! So, here is the Weekly Favorites post from two weeks ago!

Strawberry Scones with Sweet Lemon Glaze - via All Tarted Up

I'm a bit of a self admitted pastry junkie. Specifically breakfast pastries. Seriously. The worst thing that can happen to me is for someone to bring donuts to the office. So when I saw this recipe for Strawberry Scones, I had to check it out. I'm especially excited about the sweet lemon glaze on these!

Chifferi Elbow Pasta with Cannellini Beans and Tuna - via The Pasta Project

The combination of pasta and fish or seafood is almost legendary. Maybe it gets a bad rap because of the old tuna noodle casserole, but done right it can be a thing of beauty! This combination of the pasta, the tuna, and beans, sounds amazing!

You can make so much more with #macaroni than mac and cheese! How about mac with tuna, beans and onions? Very Italian Recipe >https://t.co/ER72n8Oe9M #lovepasta #italianfood #cannellinibeans #PastaLaMolisana #RecipeOfTheDay #foodblogger #pasta pic.twitter.com/pdIcxVFGCk

Pan Seared Halibut with Garlic Crab Topping - via Ask Chef Dennis

I'm almost positive you've gone into a restaurant and seen a menu item or chef special that is some form of fish topped with crab. I'm also almost positive you have paid too much for it. It's okay, I have too. Now, courtesy of Chef Dennis, you can make it at home!

Weekly Favorites 06/03/2018 to 06/09/2018

This week for inspiration for my favorite food and restaurant articles, I took to Twitter for inspiration. What I found, is really special. There are some great bloggers out there, far too many to mention here.

I've dabbled in Asian cooking, but I typically keep things safer and steer towards Italian or barbecue. I've made Spring Rolls and Pad Thai, and even Moo Shu Pork. I've liked the idea of making my own sushi, but was never confident enough to try it out. Here, Nikki lays it out and makes it seem less of a daunting task. 


7 Essential Stops in Levinksy Market, Tel Aviv - via Becky van Dijk

What drew me to this post was a tweet.

Turns out I should have been a food blogger instead of a travel blogger! Check out these essential foodies stops in Levinsky Market, Tel Aviv | @VibeIsrael #foodblogger #TelAviv https://t.co/VBMoqu1v5B pic.twitter.com/QiINzJoU9x

Believe it or not, I've toyed with travel blogging! I stick with food for the most part, but throw some travel in where I can. Becky gives a great tour of the Levinsky Market in Tel Aviv, making any reader pining to go!

The flavor profile of this bread is what drew me in!. The raspberry and lemon flavor combination is perfect, and that lemon glaze to put on top was the cherry on top. Needless to say, I can't wait to try this one out!

Did you think I could go a whole post without talking about pasta? Me neither. This recipe has all of the ingredients I'm looking for! The pasta, pancetta, and the creaminess from the butter, what's not to love? This is another one I'll be trying out soon!
